Nationalist Party of Haiti

The Nationalist Party was a nationalist political party in Haiti which existed from 1836 to 1936. It espoused ultra-conservative values, including the maintenance of the privileges of the mulatto elite and the Catholic Church, as well as strong support for the military. The Nationalist Party was effectively a rallying point for reactionary army officers, elites, and clergymen, and it supported the reconquest of the Dominican Republic after Dominican independence. The party was a constant threat to Haitian democracy, and it dissolved in 1936.
